MA Food, Wine and Culture

Admission: September 2011
 
This master's programme, delivered jointly by Oxford Brookes University Business School and the Burgundy School of Business, is focused on the cultural, economic and political influences on the consumption of food and wine.


Combining theoretical enquiry with practical insight, this MA examines the consequences of our food and wine choices, both societal and individual, explores the case for ethical models of food and wine production, and challenges conventional attitudes to the consumption of food and wine. It requires students to apply their knowledge within business and cultural contexts, including tourism and hospitality.

Time spent in the Burgundy region provides students with a thorough understanding of food and wine as a product and of its place in our lives.

The learning experience is further enhanced by the involvement of leading figures from the world of food and wine, including writers, broadcasters, chefs, and vineyard owners.

This master's is available full time, part time, and as a sandwich mode. It is suitable for those with an interest in food and wine, those working in food and wine professions, those with relevant work experience and those who aspire to careers in this exciting field.

After completion of this programme some students may choose an academic career by studying for a PhD.
